Fredrik Alm

Fredrik Alm serves as an Assistant Professor at Örebro University's School of Health Sciences, where he has been employed since October 2021. His academic appointment bridges clinical practice and education, with a focus on nursing science and perioperative care.

His research interests center on pediatric pain management, particularly in the context of tonsil surgery and postoperative recovery. Alm investigates pain experiences from multiple perspectives including children, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, with significant emphasis on improving clinical practices through quality registries. His work extends to palliative care transitions and perioperative impacts of healthcare disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alm's publication record demonstrates consistent output in high-impact journals including The Laryngoscope, PLOS ONE, and European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology. His research shows evolving focus from pediatric tonsil surgery pain management (2017-2021) toward broader applications in palliative care and pandemic impacts (2022-2025), while maintaining registry-based methodology across all work.

Fredrik teaches both undergraduate and specialist nursing programs, integrating his clinical expertise as a registered nurse anesthetist since 2011. He actively contributes to the PEPP (Perioperative care and Pedagogical Processes) research group and serves on the tonsillectomy registry reference group, demonstrating commitment to clinical guideline development and quality improvement.
